#260 Playing Games to Learn English (Dylan - British Education)
2024/02/21
Dylan (from the YouTube channel British Education) joined me for a fun games session today. We're using games to have a conversation and practice English, and we encourage you to play along too. If you have a teacher or language partner, we also encourage you to try these games for yourself. We actually recorded for about 2 hours together, but I cut it down a lot to fit into this week's podcast. We played 20 Questions, Would You Rather, Riddles, and 2 Truths and a Lie. We also spoke for a long time about travel, language learning, and self-improvement, but this was cut out of the episode. I'm posting the full conversation on the website for members.

#259 Fixing Your Relationship Problems
2024/02/14
Since this episode falls on Valentine's Day, let's discuss the topic of Love and Relationships. I'll be basing this episode around a group class I taught before where we discuss some questions related to relationships, such as having a long and happy marriage, and how to break up with someone.  I also have the help of Chat GPT who gives some brilliant advice for all relationships out there. There will also be a few phrases you can use to talk about relationships . I'm sure at least one will be new for you.

#258 I Made Very Big Mistakes
2024/02/07
Just a few days into 2024, I already made 2 very big and expensive mistakes. In this episode, I share what happened and exactly why I made these mistakes, and then I talk about some possible lessons that I should learn from these mistakes. I also spend a bit more time discussing the importance of making mistakes and the right mindset to have when it comes to mistakes in life and in language learning too.  Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast258 Support the showSign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessons Join Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.school By becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.

#257 How to Live a Long Life (Blue Zones)
2024/01/31
In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into Blue Zones - 5 areas around the world where people live a long time with great health. I'll be sharing my uneducated views on why this might be, but also looking at the Power 9 - 9 reasons why researchers believe life expectancy is so long in these places.    For those of you who want to learn some new English along the way, I'll also be trying my best to include some dependant prepositions and their phrases too. I'll explain more about this in the episode. Don't forget to join in the conversation on the show notes page below.

#256 Spending 10 Days in Silence - Stories with Bree Aesie
2024/01/24
Bree Aesie from Into The Stories Podcast joins us today for a conversation about meditation and stories. This was one of my favourite conversations yet, packed with lots of life lessons as well as English learning tips and motivation. Since Bree's podcast is all about looking at stories, we start by turning the tables on Bree and I ask her to share a meaningful story for her. We talk about her 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand and some of the difficulties and lessons from that experience.  We delve into topics around meditation and mindfulness, and also why learning a language through stories is such a powerful and effective method.   By the way, I also appeared on Bree's podcast! You can listen to our episode here where I talk about a challenging and personal experience in my 20s.  Into the Story Podcast - Michael's Episode - https://pod.link/1522715603 Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast256 Sign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessons Join Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.school By becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.

#255 The Secret to Natural British English (Linking!)
2024/01/17
Textbook English is different from spoken English, and a big part of this comes down to pronunciation and how things are said in real conversations. You may understand English learner material easily, but then really struggle when it comes to watching TV or movies. What I discuss in this episode may be the reason why. This is the first part of a series I’m going to do on pronunciation, and this episode will be about something called Linking. Linking is when a consonant sound connects from the end of one word to the beginning of the next word. Listen to find out more!

#254 Ask Me Anything 4
2024/01/10
I answer listener questions on all sorts of topics - ranging from British culture to the fairness of life! And of course, English language questions too. It was a fun episode and you all gave great questions.  I always enjoy these episodes because they feel a bit more casual and laid-back compared to the usual ones.

#253 Use Conjunctions to Debate in English
2024/01/03
Let's look at some conjunctions (also known as connectives) to help improve your conversation and debating skills in English. Conjunctions are an effective way to make your sentences more complex and sound much more natural - rather than simply using a string of short, simple sentences. We'll also be looking at more phrases, such as adverbs. In this episode, I share them in a natural way while sharing my own opinions on some controversial and interesting debate topics. Can you share your own views on the topics using these conjunctions in the comments on the show notes page below?

#252 Reflecting on 2023, Planning for 2024
2023/12/27
Welcome back to one of my favourite episodes of the year - one filled with reflections and goal-setting at the end of the year. I love this time of year because it's a natural rest point for thinking about how the previous year has gone, and what we'd like to change going forward. It's a great time to think about your goals and progress with your English learning, but also other areas too and consider what you want to get out of the next year, and your life! Join me in a slightly longer episode as we explore the topics of Successes and Struggles from the previous year, as well as different goals and plans for the next year.

#251 Is English Education Broken? (Gregory Diehl)
2023/12/20
Gregory Diehl is an English teacher and author of the new book: Our Global Lingua Franca: An Educator’s Guide to Spreading English Where EFL Doesn’t Work. It's a fascinating book looking at Gregory's experience teaching in many countries all around the world from Thailand to Iran, and we talk about this extensively in this episode.  We talk about why English is so important to learn, Gregory's bad teaching experiences,  the problems with school and teaching English, getting immersion, video games, and how to develop an accent.  Gregory's WebsiteAmazon Link to Book Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast251 Sign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessons Join Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.school By becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.

#250 Answer These Mixed Conditional Questions
2023/12/13
Let's learn to use hypothetical situations with confidence in this episode on Mixed Conditionals. It's been a long-time suggestion from listeners, and I've finally decided to get to it. I cover some different types of conditional structures in a casual way, and ask you questions to think about making your own sentences. I hope you find this episode useful, and perhaps more importantly, fun!
